About Elizabeth
Dr. Elizabeth Palacios helps people navigate trauma and abuse, rebuild self-esteem, manage career stress, and cope with major life changes. She also offers coaching to clarify goals and next steps.
Her approach is calm and direct, aimed at practical progress rather than jargon. She practices as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, in Texas and brings 20 years of experience to sessions. She listens first and tailors conversations to what each person needs.
Background and approach
She works with concerns like sexual assault, multicultural stress, workplace issues, and challenges related to caregiving and cancer. Her sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings. That might include small behavior changes, ways to reframe negative thoughts, or steps to handle difficult conversations.
She uses clear tools and checkpoints so people know how they are progressing. Palacios emphasizes respect and sensitivity in every session. She aims to create a space where people can speak honestly about shame, prejudice, or identity-related stress.
Forgiveness, self-love, and finding life purpose are often part of the work she helps people do. Over the years she has supported people dealing with immigration concerns, intellectual disability issues, midlife transitions, and communication problems. She helps clients set realistic goals, test new approaches, and build confidence to move forward.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the client's lead. It helps when someone needs acceptance, clarity, and a space to make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to improve mood and functioning. It is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and practical problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest approaches to try. Together they’ll adjust methods based on what helps most, combining listening with concrete tools when needed.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video lets people use visual cues and more interactive work, while phone calls can be a simpler check-in with less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can be helpful for brief updates, coaching-style check-ins, or when typing is easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep regular contact and continue progress even when life is busy.
